HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LESLEY ANN WARREN. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PARTY!

LESLEY ANN WARREN REALLY IS "CINDERELLA." SHE LOOKS AT LIFE THROUGH ROSE-COLORED GLASSES, AND IS ALL ABOUT MAKING HAPPINESS A PRIORITY.

Lesley and husband Ron Taft

Her wonderful husband, award-winning graphic artist, Ron Taft, gave her an exquisite dinner party at Il Cielo. His theme was "Make Someone Happy," and at each place-setting was a pair of heart-shaped rose-colored glasses. It was also not lost on all of us that they were the same glasses Sue Lyon wore in "Lolita." "Cinderella" likes to be "bad," too!"

Right before the cake, Ron arranged for Jimmy Durante's recording of "Make Someone Happy" to be played, and we all sang along---TWICE!

We all LOVED those glasses!!!!

With the indescribably-brilliant Allee Willis

We had beautiful smoked salmon hors d'oeuvres, followed by a mushroom ravioli appetizer, a lightly-dressed green salad, chicken or salmon with couscous, and then THAT cake!

Lesley is one of the most loving human beings I've ever known. She and all her friends have amazing reciprocal friendships. What a blessing. The room was filled with somuch love.
